[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, the OP's question assumes that race would not impact one's outlook, personality, demeanor, etc. IMO, there is no way I would be the person I am today (I am Asian American, btw) if I were born white or black. In other words, my race has undoubtedly shaped the person I am today. Would DH have married me if I were white or black or some other color? I don't know because that person would not exist.

OP's question is moot.[/quote]

Very good point, PP. I am black. Would I still be "me" if I were white?[/quote]

DH has a different race and didn't exclusively date one race so I would say yes.  At the same time I think I wouldn't be the same me if I were a different race.

One thing though is I can't be best friends with someone that would never consider dating someone of my same racial background.  It just seems false to me to say we are really cool and all but I would never want my son to date your daughter, I don't think you, your children, your extended family are particularly cute because I only like x features not found in your gene pool ... and those are just the things the person will admit to in a more PC way than I stated it.
